Is 2020 Going to Be Conor McGregor's Best Year Ever in UFC?
Conor McGregor is making a comeback.
Speaking at a press conference in Moscow on Thursday morning, the Irish MMA star announced he has agreed to return to the UFC's Octagon on Jan. 18 in Las Vegas.
McGregor didn't specify who he'll be fighting, but ESPN's Ariel Helwani provided some clarity on that front.
Ariel Helwani McGregor wanted to return on 12/14 but that didn’t make financial sense since they already had the 3 title fights booked for that card. McGregor is looking at 2020 as “a season.” He wants 3 fights next year: 1/18, winner of Masvidal/Diaz and then the winner of Khabib/Ferguson.
